Difference between 10/22's...

[IchBinEinSniper]

Is there any difference between say a 60's Ruger 10/22 and a late 10/22? Insomuchas quality and accuracy are concerned? I have found that people seem to be asking a lot more money for the older ones....

Insomuchas?

Maybe he meant "in so much as"

What CBR1100 said...

Is there any great difference between the old and the new? I have seen a premium between two more or less identical (except for age) and there is almost $200 difference... (the older higher)

The new ones have plastic trigger group housings.

I'm pretty sure the new-new ones are equipped with plastic trigger housings.

 

[SaddleTramp]

The new ones are registered,the old ones aren't.

 

[IchBinEinSniper]

So no real reason to pay a lot more for one? Thanks...

Depends how much you like 10/22s I suppose.

The new ones are registered,the old ones aren't.

hahahaha.

Get a new one to mod, and an older one to love?

(10/22's, people...sigh).

It sure sounds like there is. I have a twenty year old stainless 10/22 and it has never misfired, misfed or failed to extract. I use the mag it came with as well as high capacity butler creek and eagle mags. It is also a tack driver.I have seen several posts where buyers of new ones are having problems. My 2 cents.

 

[haggiswalker]

I agree with maddog, I owned one 25 years ago and not a damn problem. Just bought a semi new one off a member and what a friggin headache. I will not give up though, (dumb ass) I will purchase a stainless steel mode. 10/22 is the crack of rimfire.

 

[IchBinEinSniper]

Thanks... I will keep that in mind when I purchase in the future. At this point the subject is moot as I just picked up a near new Brno 581. Can't wait to shoot it.

The older have walnut stock... that's a plus
The Tactical Solution magazine might not work in a 60's gun...
